The #FBPE fools are out in force this morning....
Pauly #FBPE: Russian Tory donors named. It’s only taken three years but better late than never I guess. Make no mistake, Putin is behind brexit.
Andrew #FBPE #PeoplesVote: I don’t suppose you will be hearing much about this from Rob Burley and the BBC.
Christopher Fowler (to Rob Burley): Late Sunday morning and no mention on BBC News website... must all be at church I suppose?
Rob Burley: As covered on the Marr paper review.
NHSNot4Sale: Here’s the latest example of BBC deciding to mute a story. No mention of Russian Tory on BBC. Why?
Rob Burley: The Sunday Times story was on the Marr paper review. On the BBC. And Andrew Marr is asking Javid about it right now on the BBC.
Rob is not wrong. The 'Russian Tory donors' story was indeed covered during the Marr paper review. Andrew Marr then raised it again with General Sir Nicholas Carter. And, yes, he raised it for a third time with Sajid Javid. Make no mistake, Rob Burley's Andrew Marr programme has certainly covered this story.
So maybe these #FBPE types aren't fools after all, nagging away like that.

It's the Adonis Gambit - and it works, since your pushing at a door with very well oiled hinges on the left.
ReplyDeleteJust because Russia wants something, doesn't make it bad. Stalin wanted us to open a "second front" in WW2. Didn't mean it was the wrong thing to do. Russia didn't want us to start a civil war in Syria, aimed at toppling Assad. We ignored their opinion. Were we wrong or right to ignore Russian opinion?
On the other side we know that Saudi Arabia buys influence through strings-attached funding of newspapers, universiites, "research institutes", fact-finding missions to Saudi for MPs and so on...Should we look at Saudi influence-buying with equanimity while condemning Russian influence. The same could be said about the influence of the Chinese Communist government and our friend Mr Soros both of which get a free pass from the BBC and MSM or of Iranian influence, for which Corbyn was only too happy to act as a conduit.
'The Adonis Gambit' is now an officially-adopted ITBB term. And the failure to show an interest in any of those other influences is a highly telling point.
